boat. It was almost dawn when he almost finished it. Meanwhile
Dayang Sumbi kept watching on him. She was very worried when
she knew this. So she made lights in the east. Then the spirits
thought that was already dawn. It was time for them to leave. They
left Sangkuriang alone. Without their help he could not finish the
boat.
Sangkuriang was angry. He kicked the boat. Then the
boat turned upside down. It later became Mount Tangkuban Perahu.
Which means an upside-down boat. From a distant the mount really
looks like an upside down boat.
